As Global Brand Ambassador, Shaq will promote TIP's Newly Updated Android App CallSnap that Allows Call Recipients to Respond to an Incoming Call with a Photo, Image, or New Instant Voice Message Feature
CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Shaquille O'Neal has teamed up as a shareholder and global brand ambassador with Chicago-based TIP Solutions, a start-up software company building a patented set of software and firmware technologies around incoming call management. In his role as a global brand ambassador, O'Neal will initially promote and educate consumers about TIP's downloadable app, CallSnap. CallSnap is a newly upgraded Android app to version 2.0 which enables call recipients to "Show or TellSM" what they are doing by instantly responding to an incoming call by taking a photo or, thanks to the app's new upgrade, an instant voice message that gets sent back to the caller. Launched as a photosharing-only app to visually explain busy situations to callers, CallSnap's newly added audio message upgrade provides personal and interactive "sound bite" responses for callers-simply slide it, snap it or record it and share it!
Along with the newly added instant voice message response, CallSnap's upgrade allows users who cannot answer the call or take a photo to choose an image from the provided gallery to represent what they are doing such as working, eating, studying, etc. O'Neal has joined the TIP team because he wants to create a movement to change mobile voice behavior.
"The mobile experience has not changed very much over the last ten years, and TIP Solutions will impact how the world will answer a phone call," said O'Neal.
"As both an iPhone and Android phone user, Shaquille understands the impact TIP's technology can have with all mobile users," said TIP Solutions CEO John Braun. "TIP Solutions has downloadable and embedded patented phone applications that will change mobile call management."
How the Upgraded CallSnap Works
By responding to a phone call with a personalized audio message or "instant voicemail", CallSnap's new audio feature provides a new way to communicate. Here's how it works:
In addition to promoting the newly upgraded CallSnap, O'Neal will focus on marketing TIP Solutions' Smart CallsTM embedded call management technology, including the following: HOLD-ONTM, a button on the incoming call screen that allows callers to put an incoming call on hold, and GOT-CALLTM, a button that plays a pre-recorded voice response to the caller so they know you saw the call and will be reminded to return it later. Shaq recently had a sales trip visit with the TIP team in China, where Smart Calls is being custom built into phones that are currently on sale in the Indian market. The features will be rolling out in the U.S. market in 2014.
Lastly, the TIP team is working on an Android and iOS app that provides users a "missed call log" when their phone has been off the network. This feature is particularly attractive to O'Neal. "When I'm on planes, I currently miss all my calls unless they leave a voicemail," said O'Neal. "I'm looking forward to having TIP's suite of apps so I can better manage my calls both on and off the network." The Android CallSnap app is available to download for free in the Google Play store. Please visit www.callsnapapp.com for more information. Visit www.tipsolutions.com to see O'Neal using TIP's mobile applications.
About TIP Solutions
Founded in 2009, TIP Solutions is a Chicago-based technology company that creates innovative voice-centric applications for mobile phones geared at making call management more efficient. TIP stands for "Technology in Progress" and TIP Solutions' patented applications for Smartphones are truly pioneering, identifying and solving common communication problems that people face every day with their mobile communication. TIP Solutions was a winner in the International CTIA Wireless 2012 BIG Idea Contest and the CTIA 2013 Start-Up Mic Throwdown Contest for their HOLD-ON! and GOT-CALL Smart Calls tools.

About CallSnap
Founded by TIP Solutions, a Chicago-based technology company whose mission is to make mobile call management more efficient, CallSnap is an Android application that provides call recipients the chance to prove that "a picture's worth a thousand words" by responding instantly to an incoming call either with an image or by responding with a new instant voice message feature. The Android app is available to download for free in the Google Play store. Visit www.callsnapapp.com for more information.

With the playoffs starting this week, I
decided to write this blog, highlighting each playoff team's strength (why they
are a threat) and how to beat them.
I'll start in the AFC.
Number One Seed- New England
Why they're a threat- The Patriots are a
threat simply because they can put up a ton of points. Brady is arguably the
league MVP and with a fantastic receiving corps, New England is a nightmare
matchup for any team starved of offense. New England has an opportunistic
defense that has made big plays when doubted this season and they boast one of
the kicker-punter combinations in the NFL. But, regardless, this team is going
as far as the offense, specifically quarterback Tom Brady takes them.
How to beat them- Jump on them early and
don't let up. The Patriots have fallen into early 21-0 and 17-0 leads in the
past two weeks, but rallied to comeback and win both weeks. The Patriots have
been suspect to slow starts all season, especially in losses against Pittsburgh
and the Giants. To beat the Patriots, you must jump on them early and avoid
turnovers that can let Brady and Co. back in the game. Once you can get that
early lead, you can then hold the ball against an extremely weak run defense
that was gorged recently by Washington, Miami, and others.
Number Two Seed- Baltimore Ravens
Why they're a threat- The Ravens are a
threat because of their offensive balance and dominant defense. The Ravens play
a smashmouth style and often wear teams out throughout their games. Led by a
veteran defensive stars Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Terrell Suggs the Ravens are
physical team who will benefit a lot from the rest they will have during their
week off that they earned by being the AFC's #2 seed.
How to beat them- Load the box. To beat the
Ravens, you need to load the box and stop Ray Rice at all costs. This offense
is only successful when it has balance and isn't relying to heavily on Rice.
Joe Flacco is not a great quarterback and when playing the Ravens, your best
bet is to force him to beat you. If you can shut down Rice that way, then you
will force Flacco to throw and that is exactly what the Ravens don't want.
Number Three Seed- Houston Texans
Why they're a threat- The Texans Super Bowl
aspirations took a serious hit when they lost starting quarterback Matt Schaub
and backup Matt Leinart for the season due to injury. The Texans are a threat,
however, because they have arguably the best running back tandem in the entire
NFL. The Texans can run the ball extremely well, even against the league's best
defenses. They have a much improved defense this season, and will look to play
low scoring games in the playoffs.
How to beat them- Again, load the box. The
Texans are a team that will be relying way too much on their running back this
postseason. With starter TJ Yates injured, Houston has no idea who will be
starting at quarterback for them this week at home against the Bengals. That
said, they will turn to Foster and Tate to carry their offense, even when
rookie Yates returns. If a team can force Yates, Delhomme, Garcia, or whoever
starts for the Texans to throw a lot, Houston will be in serious trouble.
Number Four Seed- Denver Broncos
Why they're a threat- Denver is a threat
because of their ability to hold the ball and their terrific defense. With
McGahee, Ball, and Tebow, Denver has held the ball for long periods of time
this season. If they can control the clock, and get a low scoring game, then
they are a very dangerous team. Their defense can shut down the league's elite
offenses and their pass rush is a nightmare for quarterbacks.
How to beat them- Force Tebow to throw down
the field. Against Denver, if you can put up early points and force quarterback
Tim Tebow to throw down the field, you will be in good shape. Tebow has shown
an inability the last few weeks to protect the football and throw down the
field, especially when behind. If a team can force and capitalize on turnovers,
thus putting Denver in a hole, then the Broncos will be KO'ed.
Number Five Seed- Pittsburgh
Why they're a threat- The Steelers are
quite possibly the most complete team the AFC has to offer. With a balanced
offense and the league's number one overall defense, the Steelers have the
veteran leadership, depth, and quarterback play to make a serious run at the
Super Bowl. They also have a bevy of talented receivers and matchup well with
New England's poor secondary.
How to beat them- Get to Roethlisberger.
Big Ben has been banged up the last few weeks with a sprained ankle and if
teams can get pressure on him, and hit him every chance they get, it will go a
long way towards stopping the Pittsburgh offense. With the loss of running back
to a torn ACL, Pittsburgh will be relying heavily on Roethlisberger to carry
them through the postseason, he can't do that from his back.
Number Six Seed- Cincinnati Bengals
Why they're a threat- The Bengals are a
stingy defensive team with an young, but inexperienced offense. The Bengals
will have to rely heavily on their 7th ranked defense against the AFC's best
offenses, like New England and Pittsburgh, if they are to make a cinderella run
to the Super Bowl.
How to beat them- Pick on the rookies and
capitalize on their mistakes. The Bengals start rookies at WR and QB, in AJ
Green and Andy Dalton, and they are bound to make mistakes in their first
playoff go-round. To beat them, you must capitalize on those few mistakes this
team does make and turn them into points. This defense will not give you much,
so it is crucial that you take all the points you can get and take advantage of
your opportunities.
Now to the NFC.
Number One Seed- Green Bay Packers
Why they're a threat- If their 15-1 record
is not enough of a reason, then the Packers are a threat because they have
depth and talent throughout their lineup. Led by star quarterback, Aaron
Rodgers, the Packers will look to defend their Super Bowl title that they won
last season. The Packers are the NFL's deepest team and with their home field
advantage, the NFC playoffs go through Green Bay.
How to beat them- Run the football. To beat
the Packers, you must follow to blueprint the Chiefs laid out. If you can run
the ball on them, and work in play action, then you can take advantage of their
weak defense and keep the ball away from Rodgers. You can't get in a shootout
with them, because Rodgers and Co. will eventually win.
Number Two Seed- San Francisco 49ers
Why they're a threat- The 49ers are a
threat because they are turnover free and you cannot run on their defense. The
49ers struggle to put the ball in the end zone, but they do rarely turn the
ball over and have allowed more than 23 points just twice this season. The
49ers will keep games low scoring and take advantage of their opponents
How to beat them- Get them in a shootout.
The 49ers were average against the pass this season, and if you can get them in
a shootout, your chances are pretty good. San Francisco struggles throwing the
ball and will struggle if they have to score a lot of points this postseason.
Number Three Seed- New Orleans Saints
Why they're a threat- The Saints are a
threat because they have the most prolific passing offense in the history of
the NFL. Quarterback Drew Brees shattered the record previously held by former
NFL great Dan Marino, of passing yards in a season. This offense was rarely
shut down this season, as Brees threw for 300 yards in 13 of New Orleans' 16
games this season. The defense gives up a lot of yards, but were in the top
half of the NFL in scoring defense.
How to beat them- Keep the ball away from
Brees. The Saints give up a ton of yards on the ground and are susceptible to
long drives against them. If a team can hold the ball for much of the game, and
keep Drew Brees and the Saints offense on the sidelines, they can knock off the
Number Four Seed- New York Giants
Why they're a threat- The Giants are a
threat because they have a ferocious pass rush that can slow down the aerial
attacks of the Packers, Saints, and Lions. They have a veteran, Super Bowl
winning quarterback, and a defense that, while inconsistent, can make big
How to beat them- Get your playmakers out
in space and shut down Victor Cruz. The Giants defense does not have good
overall speed and if you can get your playmakers the ball in space, they can
put up big numbers against the Giants. On offense the Giants will try to get
the ball to Cruz. Hakeem Nicks hasn't had a great year, but Cruz is the most
important player on this offense and if he goes off, the Giants could upset any
of the top seeds.
Number Five Seed- Atlanta Falcons
Why they're a threat- The Falcons are a
threat because they have balance on both sides of the ball. They can run the
ball with running back Michael Turner, and have the ability to stretch the
field with wide receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones. John Abraham leads a
defense that ranked 10th in the NFL in takeaways.
How to beat them- Throw the ball. The Falcons have proven to
be very weak against the pass and have been torched multiple times this season
through the air. Quarterbacks can get in a rhythm against their secondary and
if yours can do that, you can beat the Falcons.
Number Six Seed- Detroit Lions
Why they're a threat- The Lions are dangerous to any team
because they can score in bunches. Their high powered offense, led by
quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the Lions put up
41 on the number one seeded Packers. Their secondary is weak, but the Lions
make up for it by scoring a lot.
How to beat them- You beat the Lions by beating them deep.
Their secondary is very weak and often gets burned. You can score a lot of
points against this team, the key afterwords is stopping their offense a few
times. Throw all day and capitalize on
the few mistakes Stafford does make.

As of May last year, Volvo Buses' electric hybrid bus has been undergoing field tests on route 60 in Gothenburg. That project has now been evaluated and the results show that the new buses are popular with passengers and drivers and also with residents along the route.
Volvo Buses in Latin America will deliver 132 buses to the BRT-system (Bus Rapid Transit) of Belo Horizonte. The sale, which is the first to this BRT-system, consists of 89 articulated buses and 43 conventional vehicles. The order confirms Volvo Buses' leading position within the BRT segment.
Uddevalla Omnibus, on the west coast of Sweden, has purchased five hybrid buses and five ambulance buses from Volvo Buses. All of them will operate on bio-diesel. The vehicles are scheduled to be put in operation in June 2014.
In continued weak markets Volvo Buses reported an operating income of SEK 50 M for the fourth quarter 2013. Net sales in the fourth quarter increased by 2% to SEK 5,512 M (5,385). Order intake in the fourth quarter totaled 2,406, which was a decrease of 17% compared to the same period last year. During the quarter, an order for 414 city buses to New York City was signed.
Volvo Bus Latin America has sold 190 buses to the Metropolitan Integrated Transport System of San Salvador (SITRAMSS), capital of El Salvador. The order comprises of 60 articulated buses and 130 standard buses. The vehicles will operate in the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system, which is being built in the city. Nearly all vehicles will be equipped with the Volvo Bus Fleet Management service, which helps operators' increase fuel efficiency.
Volvo Bus Australia has recently been awarded a three-year arrangement to supply at least 180 chassis to Brisbane City Council, including the trial of a new hybrid diesel-electric model. The council currently has a contract with Volgren, which will build the bus body on the chassis supplied by Volvo.
Volvo Group's North American subsidiary, Nova Bus, and the Société de transport de Montréal, STM, have entered into an agreement on an electrification project for the public transit system of Montréal, Canada. Nova Bus and STM signed a Memorandum of Understanding today in the presence of the Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, Olof Persson, President and CEO of the Volvo Group and Michel Labrecque, Chairman of the STM board of directors.
Fuel consumption is reduced by over 80% and the total energy consumption by over 60%. The results of the field tests being conducted in Gothenburg show that Volvo Buses' plug-in hybrid more than meets expectations.
The Volvo 9700 has won the prestigious Irish Coach of the Year 2014 award at the Fleet Bus & Coach Awards held in Dublin.
Low sales volumes on a weak market impacted profitability for Volvo Buses in the third quarter of 2013. Net sales decreased by 9% to SEK 3,705 M (4,076). Order intake in the third quarter improved and totaled 2,780 buses, which was 41% higher than the same period last year. Volvo Buses reported an operating loss of SEK 164 M for the third quarter of 2013.

An entertaining game at Stamford Bridge yesterday was eventually decided in our favour by Fernando Torres's last-minute winner, and it comes as no surprise it took a mistake to settle what the statistics suggest was a very even game…
An excellent first-half performance from the Blues saw us lead by just a solitary goal at the interval, Torres's direct running setting up Andre Schurrle for the opener. The Spaniard had an eventful game from start to finish, with his excellent assist one of eight attempted take-ons, comfortably the highest number of any player on the pitch.
Torres proved a handful for the City defence both on the deck and in the air. He won three of his five aerial duels, the most on the pitch, and was also fouled more often than other player - four times - highlighting the threat he posed to our opponents. The striker's three attempts on goal produced mixed results: the first blazed over, the second a glorious effort that struck the bar and the third the decisive goal. He pounced on a defensive mix-up for the winner, as Matija Nastasic attempted to complete what would have been City's eighth successful back-pass of the game.
City levelled four minutes after half-time and, the stats suggest, shaded the second half. We created twice as many chances in the opening 45 than after the interval, whereas City had seven shots in the second 45 compared to just four in the first period.
Our opponents were successful in seven of their 10 take-ons after the break, compared to two in six before, while they were forced into only six clearances during an improved second-half showing, compared to 14 earlier in the game.
We combatted City's attacking threat with some impressive tackling, winning 15 of our 22 tackles after the interval. We also managed more ball recoveries in that time. Ramires was once again inspired in that department, for the third time in a week recovering the ball more than any other player on the pitch.
Branislav Ivanovic also produced an impressive performance, contributing both offensively and defensively throughout. He was successful in 80% of his five take-ons, all in the City half - the best percentage of any player - and also made three crosses in the final third. The Serbian was pivotal at the back, too, winning all his tackles and successfully clearing the ball on four occasions.
For the first time in almost two years it was Chelsea who emerged triumphant against Manchester City. We had failed to beat the Citizens in five games since a 2-1 win in December 2011, but Torres's winner ensured we maintain our 100% record at Stamford Bridge this season. Indeed, since losing to QPR on the second day of this calendar year, we have dropped just four points at home in 2013.

From Cameroon to Paris: Mousgoum Architecture In and Out of Africa
Author: Steven Nelson (Assistant Professor of African and African American Art History, UCLA)
Published: Friday, January 23, 2009
The kind of extraordinary domed house constructed by Chad and Cameroon's Mousgoum peoples has long held sway over the Western imagination. In fact, as Steven Nelson shows here, this prototypical beehive-shaped structure known as the teleukhas been cast as everything from a sign of authenticity to a tourist destination to a perfect fusion of form and function in an unselfconscious culture. And in this multifaceted history of the teleuk, thought of by the Mousgoum themselves as a three-dimensional symbol of their culture, Nelson charts how a singular building's meaning has the capacity to change over time and in different places.
Drawing on fieldwork in Cameroon and Japan as well as archival research in Africa, the United States, and Europe, Nelson explores how the teleuk has been understood by groups ranging from contemporary tourists to the Cameroonian government and—most importantly—today's Mousgoum people. In doing so, he moves in and out of Africa to provide a window into a changing Mousgoum culture and to show how both African and Western peoples use the built environment to advance their own needs and desires. Highlighting the global impact of African architecture, From Cameroon to Paris will appeal to scholars and students of African art history and architectural history, as well as those interested in Western interactions with Africa.

|AppleSox Open WCL Playoffs Friday Night
The Wenatchee AppleSox will begin their quest for a third straight West Coast League Championship Friday night, opening a three-game series in the Divisional Round with the Walla Walla Sweets.
The AppleSox have home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs, putting game one of the series at Borleske Stadium in Walla Walla on Friday night. The series will then move to Wenatchee for game two on Saturday and, if necessary, game three will also be played in Wenatchee on Sunday. Tickets to Saturday's home game are available now by clicking here or can be purchased at the stadium when the ticket box opens an hour before game time.
First pitch for every game of the series is set for 7:05 pm. The winner of the series will advance to the WCL Championship and play the winner of the Corvallis/Bend series.
University of Kentucky lefty Alex Phillips will get the start for the AppleSox in game one of the series. Phillips is 5-1 with a 1.89 ERA. The Sweets will counter with Ryan Richardson. The Campbellsville University junior finished the year with the lowest ERA in the WCL at 1.53 and a 3-3 record.
The two teams, in honor of their names, are making a good natured bet. The AppleSox owner/general manager Jim Corcoran has wagered a box of apples from the Wenatchee Valley with Sweets general manager Zachary Fraser, who is countering with a box of Walla Walla Sweet onions. Corcoran said "our apples beat their onions any day, and we expect our boys will do the same!"
Below is a schedule for the Divisional Round and WCL Championship Series.
Friday, August 12 - Game #1 East Division Play-Offs - Wenatchee at Walla Walla. 7:05 pm first pitch.

They also said that "Michigan is the leading producer of dry beans and several varieties of annual flowers, including geraniums and petunias, and Easter lilies. We're also No. 1 in the nation in production of blueberries, cucumbers for pickles, Niagara grapes and tart cherries. Michigan produces more than 300 commodities on a commercial basis, making the state second only to California in agricultural diversity".
Sounds like it's good for variety.

Fab Melo, Vander Blue among sophs to keep an eye on this season
Story Highlights
Players experience the most growth between their freshman and sophomore years
Syracuse's Fab Melo has provided the Orange with a defensive anchor in the paint
Villanova's James Bell has improved after a starting gig at the U-19s this summer
It's an old cliché, but it happens to be true: The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.
Of course, in this era of the one-and-done, many of the very best freshmen don't become sophomores at all. But most mortal players will make the biggest improvement of their basketball lives between their freshman and sophomore years of college.
There are three reasons for this. First and foremost, their body matures. Many players did not take part in a high-level strength and conditioning program in high school, so they find themselves unable to physically withstand the rigors of a long college season. They benefit greatly not just from their first season in college but also their first off-season.
Second, the college game is much faster than the one they played in high school. It usually takes about a year to get used to it.
Finally, even in cases where the freshmen are physically and mentally ready to contribute, they find often themselves stuck on the bench behind a senior. Thus there is more available playing time in year two.
For the last several years, I have scavenged early in the season for players who experienced nondescript freshman seasons but are ready to break out as sophomores. I have steered away from the special few who are either too obvious or were already outstanding as freshmen. And once again, I have revisited last year's selections to see how prescient I was (or wasn't). Usually that's a bit of a painful exercise but I have to say that upon further review, my choices were pretty spot on.
Let's start with the list of whom I declined to include because they were too good as freshmen: Harrison Barnes, North Carolina; Jared Sullinger, Ohio State; Perry Jones, Baylor; Will Barton, Memphis; Terrence Jones, Kentucky; C.J. Leslie, N.C. State; Joe Jackson, Memphis; Patric Young, Florida; Kendall Marshall, North Carolina; Tarik Black, Memphis; Phil Pressey, Missouri; Jeremy Lamb, UConn; Shabazz Napier, UConn; Aaron Craft, Ohio State; Doug McDermott, Creighton.
Here, then, is my list of 10 sophs to watch. You can expect them to be breaking out on a television set or in an arena near you.
Fr: 9.9 mins, 2.3 pts, 1.9 rebs, 0.8 blks, 36.0% ft
Soph: 22.0 mins, 6.3 pts, 5.1 rebs, 2.4 blks, 50.0% ft
I usually don't make it my business to root for specific players, but I'm making an exception for Melo. He is endearing and earnest, and it's not his fault that he arrived in Syracuse amid sky-high expectations he was unprepared to meet. After all, Melo only came to the U.S. to play basketball three years ago. The college game proved to be too fast for Melo as a freshman, and like a lot of big men he came in woefully out of shape. Melo spent his summer working hard to improve his conditioning, and you can just see how much better his self-esteem is now. He's still a long way from being an offensive threat, but he has given the Orange the defensive anchor in the paint they lacked last year.
Fr: 19.0 mins, 5.1 pts, 2.8 rebs, 1.6 assts, 39.4% fg, 16.0% 3fg
Soph: 25.7 mins, 10.7 pts, 3.3 rebs, 4.5 assts, 1.8 TOs, 51.2% fg, 37.5% 3fg
Expectations are often not fair for incoming freshmen, but in Blue's case there is no question he failed to meet them. He was one of the most heralded recruits to come to Marquette in a long while -- he was especially loved because he was from Madison -- but Blue's inability to shoot rendered him ineffective because it allowed defenses to back off. That's why his playing time dwindled as the season went on. (Blue played a total of 14 minutes in the Golden Eagles' first two NCAA tournament games.) My decision to select him is based more on what I think he can do than how he has played thus far. Blue is still not a great shooter, but you can see that his percentages have jumped, largely because of improved shot selection. He is also learning not to let his shooting determine how he performs in other areas of the game. For example, he only took two shots and scored three points in a rout of Jacksonville, but he still grabbed nine rebounds. He shot 4 for 14 in the win over Wisconsin but had eight rebounds. That's progress.
Fr: 8.2 mins, 2.1 pts, 1.2 rebs, 0.4 blks, 48.3% fg, 70.6% ft
Soph: 26.0 mins, 12.3 pts, 6.7 rebs, 3.1 blks, 57.1% fg, 84.0% ft
This young man is going to make a lot of money playing this game, possibly as soon as next year. When I saw Leonard as a high school player, I was taken with his size, skills and agility. But he got pushed around last season and was often very emotional. Sometimes Bruce Weber wouldn't even know how to react to his outbursts. Leonard was on the bench for most of the season while two lesser talented (and equally soft) veteran big men, Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale, ate up most of the minutes. After a terrific summer with USA Basketball, Leonard returned to Champaign stronger, more confident, and ready to take advantage of his opportunity to start. He had the best game of his career during last Saturday's win against Gonzaga, finishing with 21 points (on 9 for 11 shooting) and six rebounds. I wouldn't be surprised if he were a lottery pick next June.
Fr: 9.1 mins, 2.4 pts, 1.3 rebs, 0.2 assts, 41.7% fg, 32.3% 3fg
Soph: 27.0 mins, 10.0 pts, 3.5 rebs, 2.2 assts, 46.3% fg, 44.4% 3fg
Bell missed the first five games of his freshman following surgery to repair a stress fracture in the tibias of both his legs, and he never really caught up. It wasn't easy breaking in to a jam-packed backcourt that featured seniors Corey Fisher and Corey Stokes. Over the summer, Bell started every game for Team USA at the Under 19 world championships in Latvia, and he returned a much more confident shooter. Villanova is going to need even more production from him if it's going to shake off the doldrums of its 5-2 start.
Fr: 13.8 mins, 4.8 pts, 0.4 assts, 48.4% fg, 30.4% 3fg
Soph: 20.4 mins, 12.6 pts, 1.6 assts, 53.7% fg, 42.9% 3fg
You don't improve your three-point shooting by more than 12 percentage points without putting in a lot of hard work in a lonely gym. That's what Sheehey put in over the summer in Bloomington, and it has paid off. Last year the lightly-recruited swingman from Florida seemed in over his head, with his most memorable moment coming on a soaring dunk down the lane against Iowa. (Who says white men can't jump?) Now, Sheehey is demonstrating more poise and a better overall game. His breakout performance came on Nov. 27 against Butler, when he scored a career-high 21 points and locked down the Bulldogs' best offensive player, Chrishawn Hopkins, in the second half.

Ross was a highly-acclaimed recruit out of Portland, and while his game was a little immature last year, his main problem was that Washington had two frontcourt seniors in Matthew Bryan-Amaning and Justin Holiday. Ross showed signs he could become a big-time scorer (he had 19 points in a loss to North Carolina during the NCAA tournament), but this season he has really improved his defense and rebounding. Most of his maturation has occurred between his ears. That's the difference between a freshman and a sophomore.

Jeanine Donofrio of Love & Lemons likes to roast squash in the fall because "it makes your whole kitchen smell like a warm, cozy Thanksgiving." Toss sliced acorn squash with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, then roast in a 400-degree oven until golden brown and tender. Your topping? Crisp apple salsa. Mix two finely chopped apples, 1/2 cup chopped scallions, and 1/4 raw corn kernels. Toss with the juice of two or three limes and a few big pinches of salt. For extra spice, add chopped jalapeno and cilantro. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Message From the Chairman
When asked to describe Maimonides Medical Center, I say it's a community and a specialty care teaching hospital. The word "community" always comes first.
This could be because we're in Brooklyn, which despite more than 100 years of incorporation into New York City, never loses its sense of place. Or perhaps, it's because we were born from citizen concerns about access to health care locally.
Regardless, the sense of community is palpable in our hospital, manifesting itself in everything from signage in the 10 primary languages spoken by our diverse patient base to a highly regarded Stroke Center created in response to the high incidence of coronary and vascular disease in our service area.
Our job is to bring to Brooklyn and beyond the highest quality health care, and our outstanding staff and administrators do that every day. From diagnosis through treatment, our patients benefit from the newest, most effective techniques and technological tools. We have earned our reputation as innovators. From the first implantation of a partial mechanical heart in a human performed here in 1966, to today's advanced minimally invasive procedures that combine neuroscience and radiology to protect patients from the devastating effects of stroke, our professionals continue developing procedures and treatments that change people's lives.
I have had the privilege to collaborate for more than a decade with the extraordinary people affiliated with this hospital and the community it serves. We share a vision for our future. We see a physical plant that accommodates modern tools, and treatments that improve patient outcomes and that allows us to care for patients in a respectful and culturally sensitive manner. We envision the growth of our medical center as a place where patients can receive the highest levels of care—from pediatrics to cancer treatment and everything in between—close to home.
We are aiming high. Our community deserves that.
Martin D. Payson
Message From the President
It is a great privilege to lead Maimonides Medical Center.
I'm confident that the more you know about this wonderful organization, the more you will want us to be your hospital—whether as a patient, volunteer, donor or community supporter. That's why we published this report.
Maimonides is Brooklyn's premier academic medical center and teaching hospital. We pioneer medical breakthroughs, boast state-of-the-art clinical and information technology, train more medical residents than anyone else in Brooklyn and regularly win awards from independent evaluators for the quality of our care. We are humane, compassionate and patient-centered.
Maimonides offers a full range of inpatient and ambulatory services. We especially serve people at the beginning and end of life and during medical emergencies. Our physicians and midwives deliver more babies than any other hospital in New York State. One quarter of our patients are 75-years or older—and tend to be much sicker than those hospitalized elsewhere. We provide patients admitted through the ER with the most advanced critical care. Our long-standing tradition of excellence continues in the Maimonides Heart & Vascular Center.
We always reach for new levels of excellence, and important strides have been made. We created a highly regarded Jaffe Stroke Center. The Maimonides Cancer Center has gone from a dream to offering the finest and most advanced diagnosis and treatment. In cancer, stroke, cardiac and other specialties, we have recruited stellar physicians from top-tier academic medical centers.
The nearly 7,000 physicians, nurses and other staff at Maimonides Medical Center are committed to patients, their families and the communities we serve. Maimonides is indeed passionate about medicine and compassionate about people.
Pamela S. Brier
President and CEO

The Call-Up
Burch Smith
The Situation: With Clayton Richard becoming the latest Padres starter to land on the DL, the club is calling up Smith from Double-A San Antonio. He'll join the rotation and make his big-league debut against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Background: San Diego's 14th-round pick in the 2011 draft, Smith was selected out of the University of Oklahoma after beginning his collegiate career at Texas JUCO power Howard College. The right-hander's velocity has jumped a tick since his college days, and his command continues to improve. Following a solid full-season debut at High-A Lake Elsinore last season, Smith has been the Texas League's most dominant starter in the early going this year. Through six starts, he has yielded just four earned runs on 17 hits in 31.1 innings, walking six and striking out 37. The Texan did not rank in Baseball Prospectus' top 10 Padres prospects over the offseason, though he certainly would if they were re-ranked today.
Scouting Report: Smith's calling card is his big fastball, which sits between 92-96 mph and reached triple digits during a recent start against Midland. He was up to 98 mph and held his velocity through five innings and 70 pitches when I saw him on April 23. Some debate exists over Smith's future role; many scouts believe he'll eventually find a home as a late-inning reliever, but his fastball velocity, repeatable delivery, command, and deception give him a chance to stick in a rotation.
Although the 6-foot-4 hurler lacks plus fastball life and creates little downward plane with his drop-and-drive delivery, he hides the ball extremely well. Hitters don't see the baseball until it explodes out of his hand, enabling his velocity to play up a tick and induce consistently late swings. He has a plus-plus fastball with a plus command/control profile. Much of that starter/reliever debate comes because Smith doesn't have big secondaries––he'll feature a potential average changeup and a fringy curveball/slider mix. If he's able to locate the offspeed effectively, though, the total package with the fastball may be enough for him to find a home as a mid-to-back rotation starter. If not, he should have little trouble ultimately settling in as a late-inning arm.
Immediate Big-League Future: At present, there's no telling whether the 23-year-old righty is being called up to fill a temporary void or is set for a longer look. His success (or lack thereof) in the short term may determine that. While Richard is on the DL with a relatively minor intestinal virus, he has also struggled with mechanics and has allowed 28 runs in 26.1 innings. The Padres have three young starting options on the 60-day DL (Casey Kelly, Cory Luebke, Joe Wieland), so Smith may have the opportunity to pitch his way into a full-time role this season. He's a relatively polished arm who should have at least some success if he continues to command the fastball. —Jason Cole

This year marks the 75th anniversary of Amelia Earhart's legendary attempt to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the Earth by air. As part of our celebration of Women's History Month, Secretary Clinton spoke earlier today in the Benjamin Franklin Room about Earhart's legacy as an aviator and an advocate for equal opportunity for women.
Born in Kansas, Earhart fell in love with aviation during a 10-minute first flight as a passenger in 1920, when she was 23 years old. She later stated, "By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground, I knew I had to fly." She began taking lessons and became one of the first women to be issued a pilot's license.
A true pioneer, she set many aviation records in the 1920s and early 1930s, including being the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to the North American continent, as well as the first woman to fly solo across North America and back, to fly across the Atlantic, and then to fly solo across the Atlantic.
She taught aviation at Purdue University, mentored women interested in careers as aviators, and became one of the first advocates for commercial air travel. Along with Charles Lindbergh, she worked on behalf of Transcontinental Air Transport (which became TWA) to establish an air transport system, and helped create the first regional air shuttle service, between New York City and Washington, DC.
Earhart's greatest accomplishments, though, were intangible. Photogenic, charismatic, courageous, and independent, Earhart uplifted and inspired millions of Americans in the dark days of the Great Depression. She became an iconic role model for women struggling to break out of stereotyped roles. As First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said, "She helped the cause of women by giving them a feeling that there was nothing they could not do." In fact, Mrs Roosevelt herself was inspired to apply for a student pilot permit after her first flight with Earhart.
In 1936, Earhart decided to attempt a flight around the world. No woman had yet done so, and no person — man or woman — had taken the long equatorial route. Lockheed Aircraft Company built a special Lockheed Electra 10E to her specifications, and she mapped out the 29,000-mile (47,000-km) journey. Her first attempt, flying west from California in March 1937, was thwarted by mechanical difficulties. In late May 1937, after repairs were made, she made a second attempt, flying in the opposite direction.
She and her navigator Fred Noonan flew from Oakland, California to Miami. They left Miami on June 1st and made subsequent stops in South America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. After traveling 22,000 miles (35,000 km), they landed in Lae, New Guinea. On July 2nd they soared up from Lae for the 7,000-mile final leg of their journey, across the Pacific to California.
Earhart and Noonan passed the Nukumanu Islands (approximately 800 miles from Lae) and headed toward their next refueling stop on Howland Island, a flat, narrow, mile-long bit of land in what is now the nation of Kiribati. Radio transmissions picked up by the US Coast Guard Cutter Itasca several hours later indicated that Earhart was very low on fuel, near Howland, but slightly off course.
Within an hour of Earhart's last transmission a massive search was launched by ships and airplanes from the US Coast Guard, US Navy, and merchant marine. Earhart's husband also mounted private search and rescue efforts. But no sign of Earhart, Noonan, or the Lockheed Electra was found. The mystery of Earhart's disappearance captured the public imagination and has spawned numerous theories, unsubstantiated claims, and fascinating myths.
As part of today's celebration of Earhart's legacy, Secretary Clinton joined with Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Kiribati Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tessie Lambourne, US Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, aviation archaeologists, and scientists to announce a new expedition to attempt to solve the mystery of Earhart and Noonan's disappearance.
Led by the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), the effort will probe the waters off Nikumaroro Island in Kiribati where a 1937 photograph — taken just months after Earhart's disappearance — seems to show part of the undercarriage of a Lockheed Electra airplane sticking up from a reef. In July, TIGHAR investigators will travel from Hawaii to search the area with robotic submersibles. The Discovery Channel will film the expedition.
Speaking of the new analysis of the old photograph, TIGHAR Executive Director Ric Gillespie said, "There are some very smart people who think we're wrong about this. But there are some very smart people who think we're right … The only thing we can do is make a best effort to go and search and look and see what we can find. And it's the searching that's important. It's the trying that's important."
You can view the entire event in the video below, including a description of the upcoming expedition, commentary by the searchers, and heart-felt remarks by the Secretary about how greatly she was inspired as a girl by Earhart's example. You can also read the Secretary's speech here. I particularly enjoyed the Secretary's powerful closing words, which I quote below.
"Now it has been 75 years since she set out in that twin-engine Lockheed Electra to be the first pilot, man or woman, to fly around the world along the longest equatorial route. Her legacy resonates today for anyone, girls and boys, who dreams of the stars. And I do think it's important as Americans, thinking about Ben Franklin up there, who is not only a founder of the country but our first great scientist and inventor, to keep our eyes on the stars and to keep our minds set on what we are able to do that keeps pushing the boundaries of human experience.
"Think for a minute about the world Amelia and her navigator Fred Noonan were circum-navigating. America in 1937 was still in the grips of the Great Depression. Millions were out of work, millions more were struggling. Around the world, authoritarianism was on the march. War loomed, people wondered openly about the future of our country. They asked if democracy, if free market capitalism, if America itself could survive.
"Our nation has always risen to the challenges that we have faced, but every so often, we need to be reminded that as Americans, a lot is expected of us. And therefore, we have to keep showing and giving what we are capable of. There's no challenge too big, no problem too great, and we've always been blessed with a land of courageous pioneers and fearless optimists.
"Now Amelia Earhart may have been an unlikely heroine for a nation down on its luck, but she embodied the spirit of an America coming of age and increasingly confident, ready to lead in a quite uncertain and dangerous world. She gave people hope and she inspired them to dream bigger and bolder. When she took off on that historic journey, she carried the aspirations of our entire country with her. …
"So here we are to mark a time that is particularly rich in symbolism and opportunity. We can be as optimistic and even audacious as Amelia Earhart. We can be defined not by the limits that hold us down, but by the opportunities that are ahead. So I'm thrilled to invite to this room today scientists and engineers, our aviators and our salvagers and everyone who still knows how important it is to dream and to seek, because even if you do not find what you seek, there is great honor and possibility in the search itself.
"Like our lost heroine, you will all carry our hopes with us into whatever field of endeavor you go, and in particular, those whom we recognize today, we are excited and looking forward to hear about your own great adventure."

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Burning trash collected in Dutchess County will be the county's "preferred method" of disposal over the next 10 years, according to a new solid waste plan being considered by lawmakers.
The plan also calls for the county to more than double its recycling rates over the next eight years, significantly reducing the amount of trash it burns at the county-owned incinerator.
Doing that, however,� means the county would have to bring in trash from other counties for the burn plant -- which, over the years, has required multimillion-dollar annual taxpayer subsidies -- to operate efficiently, according to the report.
Perhaps the most controversial suggestion in the report, though, is that the county explore siting an ash landfill near the town of Poughkeepsie burn plant until the state approves alternative uses for the ash, a byproduct of the trash incineration process.
Following a sometimes heated debate, members of the Dutchess County Legislature's Environment Committee approved the plan in an 8-4 vote Thursday. The full Legislature will consider adopting the 10-year plan on Monday.
The Freeman will livestream the Monday meeting at www.dailyfreeman.com.
Legislator Joel Tyner criticized the plan's proposal� to increase the recycling rate to 59.5 percent by 2021, a 160 percent increase over the county's 2010 recycling rate of 22.89 percent. He said municipalities elsewhere in the nation and world have significantly higher recycling rates.
"Who cares how much we recycle? We have to feed the gaping maw of the incinerator. Burn, baby, burn," said Tyner, D-Clinton. "There are many reasons to reject this plan."
According to the plan, if the county were able to achieve its recycling goal, 152,225 tons of trash would be diverted from the waste stream, leaving 102,427 tons to be incinerated at the plant -- an amount significantly less than 164,000 ton-per-year capacity of the facility.
"It is acknowledged that the projected scenario would require the county to import waste from other communities to keep the (burn plant) in full operation," the report states. "This is a realistic option."
Legislator James Miccio, who headed a special task force to look into how to end the taxpayer subsidies to the county's Resource Recovery Agency, said the new plan has a lot of "good stuff."
He also said lawmakers don't have to embrace any of the proposals, such as siting an ash landfill within the county's borders, if they chose not to.
"It gives us a road map," said Miccio, R-Fishkill. "These are all the different routes to get to reduce, reuse and recycle."

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Betty Adams firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
AUGUSTA — The bank whose court action forced the closing of Gardiner-based Associated Grocers of Maine in April 2011 wants to recoup at least $2.5 million of its losses from former directors and officers of that cooperative.
List of defendants:
David Allenson, of West Paris, former director of AGME
Oliver Andrews, of Phippsburg, former director of AGME
Associated Grocers of Maine, Gardiner
Thomas Barber, of South China, former director of AGME
John Beaupre, of Carrabasset Valley, former director of AGME
Craig Burgess, of Bath, former chief executive officer and former director of AGME
Cathy Callahan, of West Gardiner, former vice president of administration for AGME
Phil Chabot, of Dexter, former director of AGME
Ronald Cloutier, former chief financial officer of AGME
Frederick Crowe, of Princeton, former director of AGME
George Humphrey, of Jefferson, former director of AGME
Barry McCormick, of Unity, former director of AGME
Tim Mellen, of Woolwich, former director of AGME
Charles O'Brien, of Jackman, former director of AGME
John Robichaud, of Fort Kent, former director of AGME
Thomas Ruggerio, of Bremen, former senior vice president and chief financial officer of AGME
David Sleeper, of Caribou, former treasurer and director of AGME
Paul Trusiani, of Portland, former director of AGME
The Bank of Maine filed a lawsuit in Kennebec County Superior Court against Associated Grocers of Maine and 17 individuals from across the state, including some owners or former owners of grocery stores.
No defendants have responded to the lawsuit, and the court records had no indication that they had been served notice of the lawsuit.
One defendant, Craig Burgess, of Bath, a former chief executive officer and former director of AGME, said Thursday he was unaware of the lawsuit and had no comment on it.
However, he said, "We did have officers' and directors' insurance in place."
The Bank of Maine went to the same court in April 2011 to get a judge's order placing the 57-year-old cooperative in involuntary receivership.
Associated Grocers of Maine owed $6 million to the Bank of Maine and $4.8 million to Camden National Bank, among other debts, court records showed.
The cooperative's shuttering began in earnest in late April 2011, when a judge appointed a receiver to wind up the grocery co-op because of its unpaid debt. All 141 employees of Associated Grocers of Maine lost their jobs, the products went into a fire sale, and the plant at 47 AG Drive in Gardiner went to auction and was remodeled later and reopened as a Pine State Trading Co. facility.
The closure of Associated Grocers of Maine also spawned a host of lawsuits, some by the receiver against grocery store owners who owed money for products on their shelves, some by the store owners themselves against the cooperative, and some by vendors against the receiver. Most of the cases were transferred to the Business and Consumer Docket, which is based in Cumberland County Superior Court.
The vendors' lawsuits were settled early. The receiver's attorney, Fred W. Bopp III of Perkins Thompson, said Thursday that almost all of the lawsuits against the grocer members have been settled.
In the latest complaint in Kennebec County Superior Court, The Bank of Maine, which is based in Gardiner, seeks "to recover damages caused by negligent misrepresentations made to the bank by AGME and the other defendants."
The civil lawsuit says the bank loaned millions to the cooperative, which in turn gave the bank a security interest in assets of Associated Grocers of Maine, including its accounts receivable.
Those accounts receivable, however, were the subject of other lawsuits, which the bank said incurred substantial attorneys' fees and other costs. The bank also said it had to accept payments for the contested accounts receivable "that were substantially less" than the value the defendants represented to the bank.
"In short, defendants ... supplied false information for the guidance of the bank in its business transactions with AGME; failed to exercise reasonable care or competence in obtaining or communicating such information; and caused the bank to suffer pecuniary loss."
For damages, the bank wants to recoup the cost of its attorneys' fees in the accounts receivable litigation, and the difference between the amount the bank received in that settlement and the value of the contested accounts receivable the defendants listed as collateral.
